WHY RSPO

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil RSPO aims to transform markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm. As a not-for-profit association, we unite stakeholders from the palm oil industry to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil. We have over 2000 members globally that represent 40% of the palm oil industry, covering all sectors of the global commodity supply chain.

The RSPO is the only multi-stakeholder organization with a global reach that is exclusively focused on making sustainable palm oil the norm.

For members, the RSPO provides a credible support system that helps to smooth the transition towards sustainable palm oil and to access the growing market for certified sustainable palm oil products globally.

Through RSPO Eyes on the Haze, find all RSPO-certified palm oil plantations and monitor the presence of potential fire hazards by overlaying the maps with Active Fire Data from NASA. The maps are hosted on the World Resources Institute's Global Forest Watch Commodities platform. This tool is meant to empower palm oil buyers to make better decisions that support responsible sourcing.
